The Utility of Liquid Biopsy in Oncology Clinical Trials

XTalks

Liquid biopsy tests in oncology involve isolating entities such as circulating tumor cells (CTC), circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) and tumor-derived exosomes. These tumor-derived entities are used to derive genomic and proteomic data. The cfDNA that originates from tumors is called circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA).

Who are the AACR Scientific Achievement Award winners?

Drug Discovery World

He is being recognised for his revolutionary contributions to developing the first gene-edited cell-based therapy for cancer that involves the genetic re-engineering of a patient’s own T cells to combat their disease, and for demonstrating that adoptive T-cell therapy can induce remission and in some cases cure patients with advanced cancer.
